Water sports generate enthusiasm among the youth and contribute significantly to the development of the tourism industry, NTR District Collector G. Lakshmisha said, adding that efforts should be made to organize more such events.
Inaugurating a two-day water sports competition organized by Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP) officials in the Krishna river at Punnami Ghat on Saturday, the Collector said that such adventure activities in the river help to increase interest in water sports among the youth. However, it must be ensured that this is not at the expense of the environment.
